Session Abstract

Using complex STEP or IGES models in large SOLIDWORKS assemblies can slow performance and increase frustration. In this session, you will learn original techniques developed by the presenter during consulting work with hundreds of large assembly users. These methods simplify imported geometry efficiently while preserving essential details. You will also discover how to use unexpected tools in SOLIDWORKS 2026 to accelerate the process. For example, applying the Cyan appearance can make a surprising difference. Whether working with supplier data or legacy parts, these proven workflows will help you reduce load times, improve responsiveness, and boost productivity. Leave with the skills to turn heavy models into lightweight, assembly-friendly components, without compromising design intent.
